People should educate others on how to get content not available in their area for free without the hassle.

If media isn't available in your area, then the company is telling you they don't want your money. There is a $0.00 loss to them if you pirate it.

    Unless you calculate it using the Nintendo formula, in which case you owe them $3 million.

    Which is why there needs to be better pushback "Okay, so where exactly are you selling a functional SNES cart that I can plug into my SNES and play?" as an example.

    I’m not sure how that pushback can be applied. It’s not a legal argument that I am justified in stealing something if you won’t sell it to me. Although, at the same time, I don’t know what basis they have for claiming damages.

    The pushback would be when they cry about monetary losses for something they literally don't even sell anymore. Is this not why they're always trying to take down ROM sites?
